2. A compassionate conservative discounts the rope he sells you for your hanging

Which, of course, he regrets so he'll pray about your soul as the gallows sighs with your weight.

4. A pictorial definition of 'compassionate conservatism':


Hug a disabled person on the day you make sure she'll never be able to walk without her crutches.

I'm sure that poor girl was grateful for the 'compassionate' hug.:sarcasm:

7. Wow, I think you're right.
Malignant Narcissists have to have their 'supply' of other people's energy, just like vampires.

8. Didn't know that they were real
kinda like the Easter Bunny or Lucky the Leprechaun.

Here's one: What's the difference between a Compassionate Conservative and an Honest Lawyer?

I've actually met an Honest Lawyer. I've met neo-cons, conservatives, even a rabid RW racist, but I've never met a Compassionate Conservative.

:P
